MemberCompsognathusJun-07-2013 7:13 PMThis fight probably took place 100 million years ago in Africa. Because the Spinosaurus is 3 times bigger than Rugops, there will be a trio of them to compensate. To help get an idea of the battle, the Spinosaurus' roar will sound like the Tyrannosaurus' from When Dinosaurs Roamed America and the Rugops' will sound like the Dilo from the same show.
Rugops- 21 ft long, 1-1.5 tons
These mid-sized predators focused on using their teeth and jaws in battle. There arms and hands would have been useless.

Spinosaurus- 56 ft long, 5-7 tons
Spinosaurus' main weapon would have been it's long claws and arms. It's jaws and teeth would have been useful for fish and small dinosaurs, but not large opponents.

Fight-
A trio of Rugops are feeding on an Ouranosaurus they killed. They look up to see a massive Spinosaurus approach. He changes his sail's color from the usual dull brown to bright red in an effort to frighten off the Rugops. They are surprised, but realize they have strength in numbers. They roar back a challenge. The Spino is surprised himself and roars back. He charges forward. The smaller and more agile Rugops scatter. One bites the Spino on the back of the left leg. Spino tries to turn and attack, but it's sail keeps him from doing so quickly. However, while turning, he becomes face to face with one of the Rugops. He quickly take advantage and lunges with his jaws. He grabs the Rugops' back, right above the shoulder. His teeth are not designed for this though and he breaks many. The Spino does manage to sever the Rugops' spinal cord and kill him. While this is happening, the other two Rugops attack the Spino by biting at his sides. After he sees that the Rugops is dead, he turns his attention to the other two. One gets away fast enough, but the other does not. Spino swats it with his foot and a half long claws. This breaks the Rugops' neck and kills it instantly. The remaining Rugops takes advantage of the Spinos distraction and leaps at him. The Spino has lowered his head and the Rugops bites the side of his neck. Spino roars in pain. He sweeps the Rugops off his feet using his claws. The Rugops falls hard. The Spino simply steps on the Rugops' neck and crushes it. The Spino roars in victory. He then begins to check his injuries before partaking in the feast laid out before him.
Winner- Spinosaurus

The Rugops' had numbers on their side and did injure the Spino, but they were simply outgunned in the end.
